After Lin Xiao sent He Mu and his party away, he once again devoted himself to post-war reconstruction. This kind of thing had happened many times. Everyone had experience, and it continued without Lin Xiao presiding over it.
When Lin Xiao returned to the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate, the caravan that went to Baiyu City in Qi State had just returned, bringing back a large amount of resources and was unloading them.
"Disciple has met the master"
"No need to be too polite. Translation, how many resources are there in this batch? Is it enough for compensation?"
"Back to the head, I just read the list. I'm afraid it's not enough. However, it will take time to distribute the rewards. In a few days, a batch of the elixirs and magic weapons our sect is refining will be released. I guess it's almost done."
"How is the refining speed?"
"Soon, there are now more than 2,000 alchemists. A furnace of third-level elixirs and below can basically be refined in a day or two. As long as the materials can keep up, tens of thousands of elixirs can be produced in a day. The rest
It’s almost the same, except that the refining of magic weapons is a little slower.”
"Well, I understand. Tell them to continue to maintain this speed. In addition, they urge the Danyang Sect to speed up the collection of materials. Within three months, the post-war pensions and rewards must be completed."
Lin Xiao has been delaying for almost two months, and the next three months will be half a year. This half year is enough for Wu Guo to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, we agreed before the war that Cang Guo would purchase their materials at a premium..."
"Accept, we can't break our word, but the speed of acquisition must be controlled. We can't accept it all at once. According to the current market price, we can still make a profit at a 20% premium."
Lin Xiao nodded. Now that the raw materials of monster beasts have plummeted by several percent, even at a premium, they can still make a profit. If they let them refine the elixir and magic weapon themselves, they will make even more profits. They just need to survive this period of cash flow.
The crisis is over.
"I understand, I know how to do it"
"Well, if the Qianluo Kingdom comes to cooperate and buy in the same way, we are not afraid that they will have the goods. We can take whatever they pay. If necessary, we can exchange some martial arts and martial arts. I think the martial arts and martial arts of each sect are very good.
"scarce"
Lin Xiao replied that the Tiansheng Sect's exercises and martial arts are very complete. If Lin Xiao exchanges them in the system, it is simply cheating. It is extremely difficult for ordinary sects to collect them, and there are many controls. They often sell their exercises.
People also have to impose restrictions on communication, but Lin Xiao has no problem at all.
Tiansheng Sect already has a complete management system. When Lin Xiao came back, he just sat in charge and presided over the overall situation. Lin Xiao did not need to do specific things personally, so Lin Xiao only inspected one or two things.
"Muxue, you haven't returned to White Jade City yet?"
When he came to the alchemy room and saw Li Muxue refining elixirs, Lin Xiao was a little surprised. Li Muxue should be in White Jade City.
"Master, the sect's resources are scarce now, how can we do without me? Master, look, I can refine two furnaces of third-level elixirs at a time, and the elixir yield rate is 100%. Each elixir is crystal clear, perfect medicine.
Yes, Bai Xixi is also refining elixirs."
"Thank you for your hard work, I will let the sect compensate you for your merit points when the time comes."
"It's okay, I don't lack this either"
"No, the rules are the rules. It doesn't matter if you owe me first. Now the sect owes me tens of millions of merit points."
Lin Xiao replied, not counting the Beast Tide War, the sect would owe Lin Xiao tens of millions of merit points just for the Ling Ming Pill, but no matter how favorable the offer was, what should be calculated must be calculated. This is the rule.
"Okay, Master, you have the final say. By the way, Master, do you want me to refine the inner elixir of the Wild Boar King in your hand into an elixir?"
"No need, I am not short of elixirs. I will give this inner elixir to you and exchange it for treasures when the time comes."
Lin Xiao shook his head, but Lin Xiao was not lacking. On the contrary, every spiritual monk in the sect was now a poor man with almost no money. They had spent decades of savings in order to achieve breakthroughs.
"Thank you so much, Master"
"Go back to Baiyu City as soon as possible. You are needed to take charge of the overall situation there."
"I understand, Master"
"I'm leaving"
Lin Xiao went to other places to wander around, and finally came to the disciple academy. Every time there is a war, Tiansheng Sect must recruit a group of new disciples. This is Lin Xiao's practice. This time Lin Xiao did not give any orders, and Li Yiwen also
Did so.
This move also won Lin Xiao's heart. Before the war, Lin Xiao's point balance was more than 700,000, but after the battle, Lin Xiao's point balance dropped to less than 100,000, which was very dangerous.
After this battle, nearly 5,000 disciples of the Tiansheng Sect alone died in the battle, and more than 20,000 people were mobilized to participate in the battle. The death rate was as high as about one-fifth, and the losses far exceeded those of other sects.
These 5,000 people cost Lin Xiao 300,000 points. The Weiguo side also had over a thousand people. However, if a branch disciple died in battle, only half of his loyalty points would be deducted, so it was not bad.
Therefore, what Lin Xiao needs now is to recuperate, recruit disciples vigorously, and accumulate points balance, otherwise Tiansheng Sect will not be able to carry out any large-scale war.
·······
A month later, Lin Xiao convened a meeting with the top leaders of the Tiansheng Sect. Li Yiwen still chaired the meeting, with Lin Xiao sitting in the middle as the highest decision-maker.
"Ancestors and brothers, there are two topics today. The first one is about the summary of the Beast Tide War, and the second one is about the position of the first elder.
Let me talk about the first one first. This beast tide war originated from the locust plague. Counting from the locust plague, it lasted for more than five months. Our disciples of the Tiansheng Sect fought bravely to kill the enemy. 4,976 of our own people were killed, and 2,000 were killed.
At the price of three hundred and twenty-seven serious injuries, tens of millions of locusts were eliminated and millions of monsters were killed.
For this reason, our Tiansheng Sect consumed 18 million kilograms of spiritual rice and 55 million mysterious crystals. More than 67,000 magical weapons were damaged and lost, including 40,000 first-level magical weapons..."
Li Yiwen calculated the gains and losses of the Tiansheng Sect from the beginning. After this battle, the Tiansheng Sect spent a hundred years of savings, which is no joke. The loss of personnel and material was extremely huge. Only by telling these data, everyone will know
The sect’s difficulties.
"After talking about the losses, let's talk about post-war reconstruction. The first thing is the pensions and rewards. After more than three months of planning, the pensions for the personnel of various sects who died in the war have been distributed. The specific data are general affairs.
The palace has announced it, and those who want to see it can look it up themselves.
The merits of the Rogue Cultivator Demon Hunting List have all been distributed. The merits of each sect began to be distributed seven days ago, and now one-fifth of the points have been completed. According to the instructions of the leader Lin Xiao, our Tiansheng Sect is ranked last. I hope you can comfort them.
Good disciples, no one should be left short of what we deserve. As the overlords of the Wu Kingdom, we should set an example.
The war zone belonging to our Tiansheng Sect's territory has completed basic reconstruction. More than two million mortals have returned to their respective villages and towns, cleaning up farmland, repairing water conservancy measures, and replanting grain. Mountain protection formations in various Lingshan Mountains have been purchased.
The fields have been re-drained, and various low-level spiritual grasses and spiritual rice have been planted.
However, there are still big problems. For example, the food rations of mortals are now replanted. The production will definitely decrease this year, so taxes can no longer be collected, and there are still several months before they harvest food. This
We need to fully subsidize the food rations for several months, as well as clothing, farming equipment, cattle and horses, salt, etc.
On the one hand, these gaps require support from the unoccupied areas, and on the other hand, they require outsourcing. At the same time, they are the spiritual rice needed by our monks. The battle area is the spiritual rice base of our Tiansheng Sect. It has been abandoned for half a year, plus the beast tide war.
consumption, so the shortfall is huge. Counting the harvest at the end of the year, it will be at least more than 100 million catties.
Nowadays, the price of spiritual rice in various countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou has skyrocketed. If we continue to outsource it, it will cause great losses to the sect. Therefore, after the unanimous decision of the sect, the quotas for monks of each level have been reduced. The reduction rules are as follows. The pulse opening period has been changed from the original
of···"
Li Yiwen then focused on post-war reconstruction. One of them was to reduce the quota of spiritual rice. The supply of spiritual rice was originally no problem, but after the war, the food was not enough. If all was purchased from outside, at least
Spending tens of millions of Xuanjing is not cost-effective, so we must tighten our belts at this time. Anyway, it will only take two or three years at most.
Nowadays, most of the disciples in the entire sect have many military exploits, and there is no shortage of this quota, so there are not many opponents. The opposition of a few people has no meaning.
The first thing Li Yiwen said was actually decided by the sect's senior officials and there was not much room for discussion, so it could be regarded as a pass. However, the second thing that everyone was quite interested in was that Li Yiwen was about to retire.
"Having said the first thing, let's talk about the third thing, which is related to me as the first elder. Thanks to Lin Xiao, the head of the family never gave up. One hundred and forty years ago, Li became the first elder.
Li doesn’t dare to comment on the merits and demerits of these one hundred and forty years, only Head Lin makes the judgment.”
"Headmaster Li has worked hard and made great achievements. During his term of office, the sect has developed rapidly and all major issues have been handled properly. According to this sect leader theory, it will be excellent."
"Master Li is fair in his dealings, and all his disciples obey him."
"We admire Mr. Li for his hard work and dedication to the public good."
Everyone was generous with their praises. They all understood that Lin Xiao was satisfied with Li Yiwen's ability to retire, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago.
"Thank you for your praise. Let's talk about the election of the next first elder. According to the past rules, the elders and ancestors recommend candidates, and then they are sent to each department for experience and inspection, and they are eliminated from each other, and finally the two are selected.
Three people, follow me to work together. Li has ten years left to serve. After ten years, the final winner will be the first elder."
Li Yiwen cupped his hands and said, this is also the sect's rule. You can't wait until his death for someone to take over, so you have to cultivate the next successor ten years in advance. When he retires, he will still have twenty or thirty years of life, which is enough.
The next first elder has grown up.
Everyone here has different thoughts. The first elder has great authority. Without Lin Xiao, he can basically say everything. Even the other Dao Gang and the ancestors of Lingguang cannot directly interfere with the decision of the first elder. This means extremely
The big benefits are huge, but Li Wenxin's military exploits this time are enough to make people jealous. Although Li Wenxin basically can't enjoy them, he doesn't have to worry about the Li family's decades of cultivation resources.
Everyone will not be unenthusiastic about matters that are related to their own interests, and they will immediately nominate candidates who are closely related to them. (To be continued)
